Preface
In "The Harem: The Legend of Zhen Huan", there is a queen mother with a plain face and no questions about the world, she seems to be far away from the troubled struggle of the harem and is dedicated to seeking Buddha, but in fact, this queen mother's ears and eyes are clear, and the big and small things in the harem can't hide her eyes. It seems to be a kind old man, but in fact he is the champion of the palace fight in the deep city.
When the Empress Dowager was about to die, she wanted to ask the emperor to release her most beloved youngest son, the fourteenth son of the first emperor. You must know that the fourteenth son was the biggest competitor when he competed with the emperor for the throne.
Sure enough, the emperor did not agree, and the queen mother died with hatred, and cursed the emperor before she died: "You will fall to the point where the six relatives do not recognize each other and the flesh and blood are separated!" So, as the biological son of the queen mother, why did the queen mother curse the emperor's fate so much?
1. The root of the rift between the Queen Mother and the Emperor
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the emperor once said something like this to Zhen Huan before he died: "Huang Ama is the Son of Heaven...... Why do you all want to betray me and betray the emperor!" The "betrayal" mentioned here is not only the affair between Zhen Huan and King Guojun, but also refers to the fact that the Queen Mother and Long Keduo have a personal relationship.
The Queen Mother Wu Ya had a lifelong appointment with Long Keduo before entering the palace, and the Queen Mother once wanted to lose the election when she entered the palace draft, but she was deceived by Long Keduo and put on the emperor's favorite clothes and colors, and successfully entered the palace.
Despite this, the love between the two was not severed, because the queen at that time was the sister of the Wuya clan and the mother of Long Keduo, the three formed an interest group in the harem and could not be cut.
Wu Yashi was deeply favored by the first emperor and gave birth to two sons and three daughters for the first emperor, the older of which was the fourth son, that is, the later Yongzheng Emperor, because the queen had no heirs, so he was raised by the queen.
In this way, there is no love for raising with his own hands, and the Queen Mother Wu Ya and the emperor have a lot less mother-son relationship, so Wu Ya likes to favor the youngest son, that is, the fourteenth son of the first emperor.
Emperor Yongzheng couldn't resist the gossip in the palace, not to mention that he said it himself: "On such a rainy day, Eniang was held tightly by Long Keduo ......" It is unimaginable how cruel such a scene is for a child.
His biological mother doesn't pay attention to herself, and she also has a deep relationship with men other than Huang Ama, which has planted deep seeds in the emperor's heart, and the queen mother and the emperor will tear their faces sooner or later.
2. The cruelty of the nine sons
Empress Xiao Yiren died early and did not participate in the nine sons. And the two sons of Concubine Wu Ya, the fourth and fourteenth sons, are involved in this cruel struggle, as the mother of two children, who would she hope will win?
In fact, no matter which side wins, she is the only queen mother. But in her mind, she may hope that her favorite youngest son can win. As a result, Long Keduo chose the fourth son Yinzhen, and secretly helped him become the emperor, defeating the camp of the eighth and fourteenth sons.
The fourth son Yinzhen did not live up to his uncle Long Keduo's full help, he walked down from the battlefield without gunpowder, and he has exercised his ruthless side, and he does not care about the slightest brotherhood for the defeat of his subordinates. The emperor took them all into custody, stripped them of their yellow belts, removed them from the royal family's jade plates, and became ordinary people.
In the face of such a situation, how could the Empress Dowager Wu Yashi not be in pain? However, after learning from the pain, she advised the emperor, but she still did not dare to disobey the emperor too much, but changed into the dress of the empress dowager, hoping to settle the big and small matters in the harem for him and protect her son's country.
In this way, the queen mother hid her feelings, and it was not until her deathbed that she confided to the emperor that she couldn't bear to confide in the emperor and wanted to see the fourteenth son for the last time. The emperor righteously refused, ostensibly saying that the Fourteenth Son was disrespectful and a sinner of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, isn't the emperor jealous that the emperor has never sung a children's song to sleep for herself? The gap between the two of them is getting wider and wider, and the queen mother finally cries and curses, "You will fall into the fate of the six relatives who do not recognize each other and are separated!"
3. The indifference of the emperor after ascending the throne
In fact, this curse is not groundless, but the Queen Mother Wu Ya's understanding of her son. The position of emperor is indeed rare, and if you want to sit in this position well, you need to abandon the feelings of ordinary people.
After the fourth son Yinzhen ascended the throne, he did carry out the emperor's ruthlessness to the extreme, but it was precisely because he was ruthless and suspicious that Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and even Yixiu turned their backs on the emperor, these people also treated the emperor sincerely, and in the end, it was the emperor's ruthlessness that exhausted these sincerity.
The Queen Mother may have complained about Long Keduo for deceiving her, but she still can't let go of her feelings for Long Keduo in her heart. The emperor forced the Queen Mother to kill Long Keduo and kill the Queen Mother's childhood sweetheart, which is the same as the emperor's forcing Zhen Huan to kill King Guojun.
The emperor thought to himself, maybe only by doing this can he prove that there is no selfish love between the two, and only then can he make this emperor feel better.
And Meizhuang has always been close to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother regards Meizhuang as her own. Therefore, there are always clues in the harem that Meizhuang's child is not born to the emperor, however, even if he is as bright as the queen mother, he is unwilling to tell the emperor the truth.
This is because the extremes of things must be opposed, and the emperor has already been counterattacked because of his brutal methods, and in the end he can only bring evil consequences on himself. Before her death, the Queen Mother vaguely told the emperor through a curse that his biological flesh and blood had been consumed, and in the end he could only betray his relatives and separate.
summary
The queen mother had no nurturing feelings for the emperor, and she was close to the enemy on the emperor's road to succession, which originally laid the groundwork for the separation of the two. Moreover, the emperor threatened the Queen Mother with Long Keduo, so that she had to get rid of her childhood sweetheart with her own hands, so that the Queen Mother no longer had any family affection for him.
For the emperor, he stands on the supreme position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, uses the power in his hands to force others to do things for himself, and handles things without a trace of emotion, so he will naturally be rejected by the people around him.
The emperor's two favorite children turned out to be the illegitimate children of Zhen Huan and King Guojun, this is "bone separation", the emperor's two favorite concubines, Zhen Huan and Ye Lanyi, the two joined forces to kill the emperor, this is "six relatives do not recognize". A generation of heroic emperors actually ended up being cursed by their mothers, which is truly sad and lamentable.
